I received my first box of Crayola Crayons today that did not contain Dandelion(It was a Christmas present from one of my students! SO SWEET!) I have to admit though...I was extremely sad when I opened the box and no longer saw Dandelion in the mix. The absence is really pretty glaring. You see a variety of reds, oranges, blues, & green, but there is just one bright yellow looking back. I'm not hating on the only remaining yellow, but it does not have the depth & versatility that Dandelion possessed. I'm not hating on Bluetiful. It is a fine blue, though be it a bit redundant in the box of 24. We already have blues, and Bluetiful does not have a huge distinction from some of the others included. It is a bit darker than the others, but with 5 blues in a box of 24...we could have done without. Why could they have not gotten rid of green-yellow (the extremely bright color that colors more like the bright yellow than any type of green). Crayola, I love your crayons....you truly are the only brand for me, my own children, and my students. However, this was a terrible mistake on your part. There is no shame in changing your mind! You can bring back Dandelion.
The whole art education community would thank you!!
